Suprising knock on effects.

Suprising knock on effects.

And a reminder of the fragile nature of our everyday 'first world' existence!

The amount of waffle that you lot spout out I would have thought there would be plenty of carbon dioxide.

 

[EFLImpudence]

I thought the trouble with the world was that there is too much.

In the end it will be the loss of co2 that will result in the end of life on this planet. We go on about man made climate change.. and I'm very much against pollution etc.. but we forget that we exist due to this burning nuclear fire at the centre of our solar system which is eventually going to burn this planet to a crisp.

That is some seriously clever crystal ball you looking into!

Serious information from the trade press on here

If prices improve due to demand, no doubt the other plants will also try to restart. As the ammonia sources have been shut down for maintenance there will be a delay.

Ludwigshaven has restarted, and supplies are coming from Poland. Lets hope the UK has good trading arrangements with Europe.

Should be improving now

I was surprised to learn Co2 is a by product of fertiliser production...

We’ve got another billion years give or take.

European suppliers have caused the problem, but as normal, the usual suspects prescribe more reliance on Europe. About time we made our own arrangements - in more ways than one.

2 years on - and not a bean. Scary.

our own arrangements

ah, you mean the Brexiteers' fantasy that we will recreate the Empire by discarding the world's finest trading partnership, and signing new treaties with those mythical great countries that are not in the EU, and do not have treaties with the EU.

Apart from Somalia, which countries do people like RAC think have big CO2 bottling factories that have the capacity to supply us? Are they the same countries that will also buy our cars and sell us railway engines?

Too costly to suck out of the air apparently.....wrong sort of Co2!

If is was possible, Coca Cola could 'save the planet'!

Co2 for lager drinkers, but I thought ale you don't need Co2. so ale drinkers should be ok.

Wetherspoons guy on the radio today said it could affect John Smith's, and Strongbow Dark Fruits.
No loss there then.
